Retro City Rampage Made Into A Real 8-Bit ROM

And the demake is playable. Crazy.

Retro City Rampage, the 8-bit looking Grand Theft Auto-like top down crime-em-up has been made into a real 8-bit title. The video above explains how, and it’s quite an achievement.

In a rather cute turn of events, though, the 8-bit version can actually be played. It appears in the WiiWare version (out this week) and will be patched into the Steam version shortly. No word on something similar for the PS3, PS Vita and Xbox 360 iterations.

The retro demake (as these things are sometimes known) will appear in the game’s arcade, alongside Virtual Meat Boy, BIT.TRIP: Retro City and Epic Meal Time.

Brian Provinciano started the project Grand Theftendo something like 8 years ago, he was trying to a GTA clone for the NES for real.
If someone rips the ROM from the WiiWare version it’s probably playable on a real NES (though needs MMC5 mapper chip).
